Improved post-processing strategy for MOLLI based tissue characterization allows application in patients with dyspnoe and impaired left ventricular function.
CONCLUSION: The adopted post-processing algorithm determines long T1 values with high accuracy and short T1 values while maintaining a high precision. Based on reduction of waiting time, and independence of heart rate, it shortens breath hold duration and allows fast T1-mapping, which is frequently a prerequisite in patients with cardiac diseases.
